A recent article in Microsystems & Nanoengineering introduces a low-cost method for optical sensing in microfluidic systems. The researchers used light-dependent resistors (LDRs) as optical detectors ...

This article provides details on key considerations when designing an optical PoC receive chain and how integrated optical front ends can meet these performance demands as well as provide an advantage ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., February 15, 2009 -- With a silicone rubber "stick-on" sheet containing dozens of miniature, powerful lenses, engineers at Harvard are one step closer to putting the capacity of a ...

OZ Optics offers an exceptionally affordable yet reliable optical DNA/detection system based on Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Much like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based system that offers an efficient and low-cost way to detect fires in challenging environments such as industrial facilities or large construction sites.
